Try this.

mail ...!uunet!compuserve.com!xxxxx.yyyy

where xxxxx and yyyy are the usernumber

Example, to mail me (72540,3071) you woudl mail:"

mail ...!uunet!compuserve.com!72540.3071

(NOTE the "period" instead of "Comma" in the user number in the address)

This *SHOULD* work, but no guarantees...

To Compuserve:   70007.417@compuserve.com
     
     Note that the comma in the individuals account is replaced by
     a period.

Genie: To my knowledge Genie is not on the Internet. If they are
this is a very recent change.
